the HEAT in Pittsburgh

UGH I hear ya..... in Lancaster it's a high of 97 and the humidity is unreal. It feels like ten pounds when you walk outside. I will stay in with my AC thank you very much

Yup, it was 105 degrees yesterday with the heat index. Too hot!!!

My window AC units are making little impact on the heat. Especially the ancient one I have in my bedroom (thank goodness for ceiling fans)

We are suppose to be 96 here in Knoxville today with a heat index of 103+. I hate humidity! I can handle dry heat better but of course when it's over 100 hot is just hot, wet or dry.

I'm about to head out to my Dad's where I know he will want me to do some stuff in his garden this afternoon. Wish me luck that I don't pass out from the heat.

Its been horrible in this part of Pa also... The other day the high was 107 and with the humidity it was 10 times worse!!! Today its already 93 and feeling like atleast 97 outside but im sure the heat will go up as the day goes on. My poor dogs cant even handle the heat and Gracie has been throwing up The humidity makes it 100 times worse out!

South Carolina is setting records. 102 yesterday with 87% humidity. No relief until Saturday. Walking out the door feels like getting slapped in the face with a wet wool blanket. The electric company says it can handle the power requirements. But can we handle the bills?

I feel so sorry for the animals that have to stay outside and especially for the people who don't have air conditioning at all. Many poor people don't even have fans. The city has opened "cooling stations" where people can go to cool off and opened swimming pools to the public at no charge.

The last time it was this hot on this date was 1900.

I can't even go outside except to go to the car for work. In 2 seconds flat, I have the AC in the car going as high as it will go and I ride to work all the way like that. It's unbearable and pretty much normal for summer here. Stay cool everyone!!
